3 days with the 23" Because I didn't have a DVI Video card for my Windows or Linux boxes, I've been working all week on my PowerBook with my new kick-ass 23" monitor. I'm in love.

It's actually changed my whole perspective. The whole machine actually seems faster. I can see so much fricken' stuff on the screen that I never close anything anymore. The bad part? Now that I'm enjoying OS X so much, I can tell I'm going to have to buy a dual G5. Probably not this year (I have to pay off my monitor loan first), but it's definitely in my future.

You have a monitor loan? You didn't pay cash! One should not purchase luxry items with borrowed money.

90 days same as cash - I'm not planning on paying any interest on it, just deferring payment until some invoices are paid.

Gee, if you get a G5, you might have to upgrade to a 30" display with 6800DDL card ;) You could still use the 23" as a second monitor on the G5 :)

You need to have clients pay the invoices upfront, on a retainer basis like a lawyer. It works much better, and will take alot of stress out of your life.
